The Liancourt Rocks (Japanese:Takeshima (竹島) "bamboo island"; Korean: Dokdo(독도/獨島) "solitary island") are a group of islets in the Sea of Japan (East Sea), whose ownership is disputed between Japan and South Korea. South Koreans currently occupy and administrate the islands, which continues to draw official protests from Japan. The name "Liancourt Rocks" comes from the French whaling ship Liancourt which charted the islets in 1849. Today, South Korea classifies the islets as a part of Ulleung County, North Gyeongsang Province, while Japan classifies them as part of Okinoshima, in Oki District, Shimane Prefecture.
